After being detained by police, a South African court has dropped the charges against her claiming that she had been smoking marijuana during the FIFA World Cup.

Her friend Jennifer Rovero however has "acknowledged to be in possession of cannabis, and pleaded guilty" and was sentenced to a fine of 1,000 rand ($130) or 30 days imprisonment, according to a spokeswoman for South African police.

Paris Hilton's publicist said the incident was a "misunderstanding" and Paris was helping police with their investigation.

"Hey guys, there's a lot of crazy rumors going around. Just want you all to know the truth. Everything is completely fine. I was not charged or arrested, cause I didn't do anything. I was assisting the police with the investigation and answering their questions. Everyone was super nice and friendly to me. I love South Africa! Such an amazing place, especially during The World Cup! Hope that clears everything up. Love you guys, thanks for your concern. Xoxo P"
